Piazza Santo Stefano

Start your itinerary in the historic heart of Bologna with Piazza Santo Stefano, one of the most fascinating and unique squares in Italy. Here stands the imposing complex of Santo Stefano, also known as the "Seven Churches" or the "Bolognese Jerusalem". Once you walk through the entrance, you will be thrown into a timeless atmosphere. Admire the striking Romanesque columns that characterize the ancient courtyards, immerse yourself in history by touching the Pilate's Basin, an ancient stone basin linked to legends and rites. Do not miss the opportunity to see the unique Gaul of St. Peter and contemplate the touching fresco of the pregnant Madonna, testimonies of faith and art that enrich this sacred place. An unmissable experience that will make you discover the deepest soul of Bologna. On Mondays this stage is replaced by another, as the basilica is closed.

Quadrilatero

Immerse yourself in the unique atmosphere of the Quadrilatero, Bologna's vibrant and historic market district. A few steps from Piazza Maggiore, this area is a real sensory journey into the heart of authentic Bolognese tradition. Stroll through its iconic streets: Via Caprarie, Via Drapperie and Via Pescherie Vecchie. Here, historic shops and lively stalls offer a riot of flavors and aromas, from typical cold cuts and cheeses to fresh handmade pasta. The Quadrilatero is the ideal place to discover the most genuine soul of Bologna, between ancient crafts and the famous Emilian gastronomic culture.
